You would have simultaneous buy & sell open orders on the same option contract. That's not allowed. Not an IBKR limitation, but a limitation of US option markets where only market makers can have simultaneous buy & sell orders open on the same option contract.
?
Since both your orders are at same entry price, you can just have 1 open order for the total qty, and then have 2 different close orders, each with its qty, profit & stop loss targets, and then just link them together in an OCA group so you get the overfill
protection.

Okay done more research. Looks like IB does not allow such groups of orders on options!
